“London-based technology company Provenance is combining the immutability and cryptographic granularity of blockchain, with sea to consumer supply chains in order to track high value fish, improving transparency and sustainability.”

“Because human rights abuses and illegal fishing are so widespread in the fish industry, campaigners hope the technology, piloted by a U.K.-based blockchain company Provenance, will help manufacturers, retailers and restaurants track the origins of their fish.”

“The project, a collaboration between Provenance, the International Pole and Line Foundation (IPNLF) and Humanity United, aimed at demonstrating the capabilities of blockchain technology as to provide a robust proof of compliance to standards at origin and along the chain and prevent the “double-spend” of certificates.”

“Social enterprise Provenance conducted a trial that involved following the supply chains of two types of tuna fished in Indonesia and successfully integrating blockchain into existing auditing systems to create an unbroken record.”

“Provenance, a UK-based company, is trying to make a difference. It describes itself as “a platform that empowers brands to take steps toward greater transparency by tracing the origins and histories of products.”

“The supermarket is working with early stage blockchain startup Provenance to investigate how its technology can be used to track that its produce comes from sustainable sources in what’s thought to be the first pilot project of its kind by a major retailer.”

“The blockchain provides an audit layer sitting on top of an existing ERP or other data management system, providing a true end-to-end record without the need to change existing interfaces to data capture,” said Provenance.”
